This Tampa Bay Lightning hockey club is awesome to say the least. I don't think you can get a better hockey team: they got lightning(pardon the pun) quick speed, an overall great offense, a great goalie, a good defense, a great penalty kill, and an awesome powerplay. What else can you say?

And perhaps most importantly they have Tortorella and his staff. There isn't that much to choose between lineups in a lot of cities these days, but the coaching in Tampa was top notch and made the difference for them in their two close series. They instilled the mental discipline and resiliency that the Lightning consistently showed, and they unveiled new pages from a surprisingly adaptable and versatile gameplan at every critical moment.
